Lag is exactly the reason why they want to put the satellite there. It will route traffic between satellites in space, without need for the lag of travelling to terrestial router and then return to space.

my bad/it's my bad - "It's my fault/mistake" (an acknowledgement of blame) - this is from US college/university campus 1980's slang, in which 'bad' means mistake or fault (that caused a bad thing), hence 'it's my bad', or more succinctly, 'my bad'. It's simply a shortening of 'The bad thing that happened was my fault, sorry'. The word bad in this case has evolved to mean 'mistake which caused a problem'. It's another example of the tendency for language to become abbreviated for more efficient (and stylised) communications. In this case the abbreviation is also a sort of teenage code, which of course young people everywhere use because they generally do not wish to adopt lifestyle and behaviour advocated by parents, teachers, authority, etc., and so develop their own style and behaviour, including language. For new meanings of words to evolve there needs to be a user-base of people that understands the new meanings. Initially the 'my bad' expression was confined to a discrete grouping, ie., US students, and the meaning wasn't understood outside of that group. Now it seems the understanding and usage of the 'my bad' expression has grown, along with the students, and entered the mainstream corporate world, no doubt because US middle management and boardrooms now have a high presence of people who were teenagers at college or university 20 years ago. I am also informed (ack K Korkodilos) that the 'my bad' expression was used in the TV series 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer', and that this seems to have increased its popular mainstream usage during the 1990's, moreover people using the expression admitted to watching the show when asked about the possible connection. Additionally (ack M Woolley) apparently the 'my bad' expression is used by the Fred character in the new (2006) Scooby Doo TV series, which is leading to the adoption of the phrase among the under-5's in London, and logically, presumbly, older children all over England too. There is it seems no stopping this one..

Well, perhaps this is meaningful to someone who is a programmer. Pretty much incoherent to everyone else.
The piece does a good job talking about development for different environments then the one that you are programming in.
I think this would start to make sense if the THEN replaced a THAN.
And with the continued rise of more and more heterogeneous environments, this will become more and more common.
I would like to see more and more "more and more"s in one sentence. Four "more"s.
Let's try this for brevity and clarity: As heterogeneous environments become more prevalent so will this phenomenon
I think the Submitter, Ix, has a vested interest in this situation. Nine is still a cool number in my books, and I'll still call you a planet if makes you feel better.
It's kind of hard to have insightful commentary when the site is slashdotted. No one (well maybe the first 3 people had a chance to look at it) has been able to witness the game's dynmanics. No one has any insight, because no one's played it.
You don't have anything meaningful to say, so just complain. I guess you aren't new here.
I just love playing games with stakes other than just for the fun of it. I must admit to playing Magic in the distant past. We used to cut the Deck for the ante cards prior to playing. You certainly don't give up as easily if a valuable card is drawn for your ante.
Well, as you're asking on slashdot, there just happens to be these lovely red banner ads. They all seem to mention "Dice." So I'd give dice.com a looksee. But, maybe give Slashdot some revenue, and click thru the advert.
My Question is: How many people watch the Super Bowl for the commericals. They are argueably the best part of it. For me, the beauty of soccer (or football, whatever... I'm Canadian) is that there are no real commericals breaks. Sure there are some at halftime. But for the rest of it, it's 90+ minutes of pure sport.
way more than 100% profit. It costs me ~20$ for 2 years. I got my domain thru Joker.com. They are simple and relatively easy to use. I would certainly look for an alternate domain name before handing over $1000 dollars.
It is what they want though. Namely another revenue stream. Given the option of a tool that plays media and a tool that sells media... Which one do they think they are going to push on the public? Throw in some eyecandy and I'm sure some people will even like it.
That was almost was a coffee spraying over keyboard incident. And the AOL IM pop has nearly gotten me into trouble a few times with IMs from my boss taking focus away from IMs from friends.

This game and the Transformers C64 game are some of my earliest, and best, video game memories

If only the Chinese would pirate (clone) the Nintendo Wii hardware... so I could actually get one.

Heh... I'll cop to it. But I didn't get any message from Yahoo saying I already have a search engine in front me.

There are indeed 3 colours of iPods. Black, white, and red http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/red/
The two are separate entities. There is the Hobbit which we all know, and a supposed 'prequel' that isn't necessarily anything that JRR wrote himself.
Ent draught was the drink in question.

Interesting blog peice... Oxymoron?

At least they are using a hammer and not a pickaxe.

Ok... But, SlashDate.org has a much better ring to it. ;)
